the great size and clear color of its flowers. The plants or bushes grow

long stemmed flowers. On account of its great size and development 
the plant requires a long season and the seed should be sown early. It 
is a hardy sort, however, and is not injured by ordinary frosts, and con- 
tinues to bloom until the advent of really severe weather. All sorts

Cosmos, New Earty BLoomina GIANT FANCY. 
NEW EARLY BLOOMING GIANT FANCY. In this strain, 
which has been selected and re-selected with great care and pains, will 
be found the finest forms of cosmos thus far developed. It is a noble 
mixture or collection of large flowered forms, embracing all colors, 
such as white, pink, crimson, white tinted rose, etc. The great flowers, 
borne in abundance on long and graceful stems, are sometimes 6 or 
more inches across. Some blooms are nearly flat and cone shaped, 
with petals variously cut and fringed. Certain of the fringed forms 
resemble California poppies, with broad petals of great elegance and 
beauty. For best results this magnificent type of cosmos should be 
started very early, as it requires a long season for full development. If 
sown under glass or in the window box it will bloom in early autumn, 
and the gorgeous flowers will continue long after the advent of frosts.
